put the fmc project down for awhile with plans to redo it using the pcb. Printing parts for the single side yoke. There’s a lot of support material on some of these pieces and making them pretty has been tougher than some of the other parts I’ve printed.
this shows the ptt switch on the yoke and how I ran the wires:
Instructions say to do all 3 poles so you can decide later how you decide the switches to work. I wanted it literally ptt so I made sure which two posts worked that way and cut the other one off.
Here’s looking down the gullet of the yoke head with 3 wires on the pot. Spring is to help the wheel recenter, I think, although it’s fairly stiff overall Ive found. A string goes from that spring to the floor mechanism.
still waiting for the momentary toggle switches to arrive from wherever I ordered them from so I can do the trim switches.
good day on the sim build!
Well done steve, Since this design was released, Cura now has concentric support infill, which reduces the amount of wasted PLA and make removing the support so much easier! I will revisit this yoke, and play with scupting it in fusion to get a mor rounded solution. But thats for the future. Great work as always. Karl
Thanks. Got the whole yoke wired up since the momentary toggles came yesterday.
And here it is wired. I’m sort of out of some colors for wires so I’m trying to keep track of what everything is hooked up to as I route them.
Imagine if you were landing at PDX yesterday afternoon. This is the view from my desk at work:
Really looking good! I'm almost at the same point and plan to do the wiring this week.
Best,
Rob
